Ewe Drumming — Ghana’s Pure Polyrhythms

Our musical adventure in Ghana begins as it should, with the rhythms of the Ewe.

The Ewe people of West Africa — Ghana, Togo, Benin and more — are revered for their traditional drumming and music, much of which features multiple rhythms that playfully cross one another throughout expansive and energetic drumming sessions. In this video our Ewe friends, performing music at a funeral, demonstrate the Agbadza rhythm.
